Kirsch or cherry-water, makes a great alternative to Cognac at the end of a meal. Weis Kirsch is made from the famous black cherries which give a concentrated, rich flavour. However, it’s not only the flesh of the cherries that is important but the stones too. These give Kirsch its salty mineral notes and lift it above being merely “another fruit spirit”.

Made using the root of genuine Chinese rhubarb, which only grows in the mountainous regions of Kansu province, Zucca Rabarbaro is a bittersweet amaro perfect as an aperitivo or digestivo. Herbaceous rhubarb, orange, cardamom, slight aniseed and smoke, balanced with a pleasant bitterness. Neat or over ice as a digestivo, mixed with soda as a refreshing aperitivo, or as a substitute for other amari in cocktails such as the Negroni and Americano.
